Girl Scout Day

Explore the world we build for ourselves make connections to Girl Scout Journeys

WHAT Join us for Girl Scout Day at the National Building Museum, a day designed especially for Daisy, Brownie, and Junior Girl Scouts. Explore the world we build for ourselves and work on badge and journey requirements. Girls participate in multiple hands-on activities and have the opportunity to talk to building professionals.

During this program Girl Scouts will be able to:

Create an arch bridge out of straws with engineers from the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Explore the Museum’s building on a scavenger hunt to reveal its amazing history.

Learn how to clean water by creating a simple water filter.

Build a green roof that really grows and learn how plants contribute to cleaner air.

Turn garbage into something useful and beautiful by turning an old plastic bottle into a flower vase.
